re: We really need to change coaches

Willie has no scheme.

Thats false as well. If you think we dont run plays and sets i don't know what to tell you. If you think having 15 different starting lineups hasn't affected that I don't know what to tell you. If you think Erik Spoelstra or another "elite" coach would have this roster at 10 wins or more i don't know what to tell you.

quote:

Backups should be able to keep it going,

My guy, these aren't even backups. They're the backups backups. Teams are cheating and daring Boston and Green to take open 3s and we aren't making them. You didn't have a true pg for weeks until Murray got back, he's still rusty, and your best pg outside of that hasn't been in the league for 2 years.

I'd argue that our biggest issue that shouldn't be is Trey Murphy playing so poorly. He's gotten his open looks and he's bricking them.

This offense has generated open looks. The players taking the shots are not good enough to hit them.

And don't even get me started on "well why isn't the defense good" shite. With all these players shuffling around playing different roles you're expecting a level of communication and chemistry that isn't feasible. These guys don't get a camp. They get maybe one practice or two a week and then oops Ingram goes down or oops Jose went down or oops zion went down.

We have been in a constant state of adjusting to injury since the season began, and Phil fricking Jackson wouldn't have this team winning much more than what we are.


Willie has his faults, but the whole "we need an elite coach" isn't the fricking cure you guys think it is.

They’re not getting him open looks. Most his looks are generated himself. Last night in the first quarter they didn’t generate one play to get him an open look.

No one is expecting elite defense. But it would be a nice if a defensive coach can manage to tell his players to stop giving straight line dunks and layups every game. We allow paint scoring at a ridiculous rate.

Part of why this is so difficult we don’t have philosphies or systems in place. Yes we’ve had a ton of injuries but even as we get some guys back we don’t see much improvement. This excuse now is their rusty. Its always something. Eventually as a head coach you are required to win games.

No one is asking for Phil Jackson like your assuming. We just don’t want a shite coach like Willie. A decent coach who controls game flow, runs plays and occasionally outcoaches the opponent would be nice.

quote:

---

These are some of the plays used in the offensive system. You originally said we have no system at all.

---

This isn’t a system lol. This is straight pick up ball lol.

quote:

---

Our offense is also based off of having players that can at will get to the rim to generate drive and kick outs to open 3 point shooters, but again, without health you are severely limited in what you can run and what works.

---

Again not a system. They do this in rec games. Our “system” is drive to the rim and pass for threes??? This is basic basketball.

quote:

---

It's just wild to me that yall don't see this. It's far, far more of a talent issue vs scheme.

---

It can be both! Its wild you can’t see this.

Do you realize all of the elite teams in the NBA have guys that get to the rim right? At will. The Celtics, last night with the Grizzlies, the Mavs, etc. Their offense works best when their elite players put pressure on the rim to generate open looks for their best 3pt shooters. So please tell me that Zion penetrating with Ingram CJ Trey and Murray all around the 3pt line wouldn't work. Because that is the plan we have never been able to execute DUE TO INJURY.

The Pels have Murray, Ingram, and Zion for rim running/driving. They have all been hurt. It's basic basketball that works. You just don't get it.

---

It is far more one than the other. Wild that you prefer to blame willie

quote:

---

Teams will let everyone else get open besides Trey. It's on him to generate his own open looks too.

---

So basically if Willie cant get you open looks. Its on the player- thats his philosophy?

quote:

---

Chemistry, communication. Lack of talent.

---

Giving up transition dunks and straight line layups doesn’t require much of this. As a defensive coach you need to stress this. Not sure if its being stressed or players are even listening.

quote:

---

We absolutely do. You don't see it.

---

Again you stated the system is players driving and then kicking out for open threes. This isn’t a system man. Thats basic basketball.

Make chicken salad with chicken shite Willie! It's so easy.

You’ve used this for Willie several times and my answer is the same.

Willie couldn’t make chicken salad if it wss premade!!!!

quote:

---

It's hard and damn near impossible to outcoach a team when you are so severely talent deprived like the pels are. When you have scrubs on the court as much as we do the good teams will hug up and dare anyone but the good players to beat them, teams will switch accordingly.

---

He doesn’t outcoach teams when healthy. And part of a good coach is finding a way to win without your best players- Willie does not have this capability.

Yeah Willie consistently fails to set up our shooters and just dumps them on the corners while letting the ball handlers cook. Guys like Trey would thrive on so many other teams.

quote:

Hey if you don't know how modern nba basketball is played that's fine. All of the teams run some form of a pnr to switch and let their elite players a way to get to the rim to either finish or find an open 3pt shooter. A layup and open 3pt shot are the two best shots in basketball. EVERYTEAM wants to run some form of this.

---

Lol lets go to its my fault of not understanding modern basketball. You’re dumbing down NBA basketball to make an excuse for Willie. Yes but its not as simple as you make it. Theres more to a NBA team- “then kick out and shoot 3s.” But hey if you don’t understand that, its fine.

There's a lot of willful ignorance in your understanding of the game.

Ok sure buddy.

So Borrego is an active member of this coaching staff (I thought he is charge of the offense). So why isn't he putting in new sets or offense or whatever he needs to to make it work.

He supposedly have good offers in the offseason to leave. So why did he stay and why isn't he playing a bigger role?

Green is not a tactician. He's a player relations type of coach. It why he is so meagerly paid and why he was give proven assistants. Why aren't those assistants performing? Is Green stopping them? Are they trying to sabotage him? Do you want to elevate guys that would intentionally do that to their boss?
